"Not a bit. They'll try their tricks even after they get here."
"All right. We'll help 'em all we know how. But, boys, I tell you what we must try for."
"What's that?"
"One grand, good sailing party, in the 'Swallow,' before they get here."
"Hurrah for that! Annie was wishing for one only yesterday."
"We'll have all of your folks and all of ours. The 'Swallow' 's plenty big enough."
"Mother wouldn't go and father can't, just now. He's trying a case. But there's Annie and Frank and me—"
"And my mother and Ham and Miranda and our girls. Ham'll go, sure. Then we must take Dick Lee along. It'd make him sick if we didn't."
"Of course. And aint I glad about him? Could we get ready and go to-morrow?"
"Guess not so quick as that. We might by the day after, if the weather's all right."
